Demonstrate God’s Love
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.—James 1:19 (NIV)
And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!—Mark 4:20 (NLT)
As every gardener knows, the best seed cannot do well unless the soil is prepared. God wants us to be “good soil” so that our hearts can receive His word. Allow Him to pull the weeds that block you from His love and help you see the purpose of the struggles in your life.
Heavenly Father, I hear and accept Your Word.
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.—James 1:19 (NIV)
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.—Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.—Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
